Nora Blackwood writes thrillers about the danger that hides in plain sight: the kind neighbor, the tidy lawn, the house on the quiet street where nothing ever seems to go wrong.
Her stories are dark and full of suspense, but they always end in the light. She believes a thriller should do more than frighten you. It should leave you with something worth keeping: the courage to trust that quiet feeling when something is wrong, and the strength to speak up when no one else will.
The Girl in the Basement is her first novel.
